Brazilian Jiu-jitsu: From The Favela To The World

The BJJ documentary "From the Favela to the World" features Alan do Nascimento, better known as "Finfou".
Finfou grew up in the Favela of Cantagalo in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil surrounded by crime and violence which tragically took the lives of his two brothers. Fortunately, Finfou chose a different path after a random encounter with jiu-jitsu pioneer Fernando “Tereré”.
Tereré convinced Finfou to try jiu-jitsu through a social project created to help children get off the streets and thus sparked a lifelong passion for the future IBJJF World champion.
Today, Alan Finfou is living and teaching in Sweden, where he has established himself as the head submission coach at Allstars Training Center, an organization famous for its world-class MMA fighters such as UFC stars Alexander "The Mauler" Gustafsson and Khamzat "Borz" Chimaev, among others.
It could have been different, but thanks to Jiu-Jitsu and a BJJ social project such as the Cantagalo social BJJ project Alan managed to go from the Favela to the World. Taken from his own experience, a child kept occupied doing sports will also be kept away from the harsh reality of the Favela. Alan Finfou himself is proof that BJJ really makes a difference!

If you are training Jiu-Jitsu, then you know how much your life has improved since you took your first step onto the Tatami. A few years in, we are all asking ourselves why we didn't start earlier or what our lives would have looked like had we had BJJ while growing up. You learn how to become humble, and how to be patient, and as your skills progress, your confidence follows. BJJ gives a sense of belonging, a true purpose, and friendships that last a lifetime. However, not everyone is as fortunate as we are. Realizing this, we strongly believe that BJJ gives meaning and provides a purpose for everyone, especially for kids in the favelas. Help support our mission to renovate Jiu-Jitsu academies for kids and teenagers in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, by becoming a monthly
